Help with problem Combining two images

[Ashley Ferguson]

Hello, I am using PS cc v 24.6.0. I cannot combine two images using the move tool. I can do it stacking images, i can do it copy and pasting, but the move tool just shows the original image when I drag the other image to its tab and produces no new layer. I have deleted and reloaded PS, I have reset preferences, I had edited Regedit enableLUA to 0 but no effect. I have tried using PS on the laptop as well as on the PC but same result. Another site suggested removing the photo rotation values. I have moved and tried using different photos, different directories, drive and pen drive.. My laptop and pc are I7 win11 64 machines.

Any help and advice would gretly be appreciated

I think you are saying you have images in two documents and are trying to put them into one? If you drag onto the other tab and release, nothing happens. Instead, you need to drag onto the other tab > don't release > and drag down before releasing the mouse.

Tip: Add the Shift key to center the image before you release the mouse.

Hi Jane, Thats exactly what I have been trying to do, I dont' recall in any of the tutorials picking up on the dragging down bit before and I have combined images in the past.

Thanks so very much for you help
